It was Aravind Setia's home. He was the MP from Jaipur. With back to back set backs Mahantji had called the meeting of all their allies in Setia's home. There was Sartaj, Prakash Samrat, Sant Guru and Prathana Devi who has come exclusively from Mewar.

" Mahantji what are we supposed to do and for that matter who can we count on now" asked Sartaj

" Mahantji you know right Pradeep Bhaiyya has suffered a stroke after the income tax raid. He is paralyzed completely on right side. Doctor has said no hope. Now with fine and all, our major problem  is Sarangi. First help me find a groom for her where we don't have to pay any dowry. Even her brothers and bhabi's want that"

" Arrey why are you asking Mahantji for that. Couldn't Aravind Setia help your there. He has enough people " told Santguru

" Exactly Prakash. Do you really want to marry off Sarangi. I have seen her. A very beautiful 18 year old. Cant we have just marriage for the sake of it and then of course she can come to my ashram" told Prathana Devi. "Actually you will not have to spend one penny " she laughed.

" No no Prathana Devi. Don't think like that. She is a girl from our family. Second or third marriage is fine. But she will be married only. Not into any business " told Prakash.

" Why it hurts Prakash when told about the girl in your family. You do not have any problem visiting woman I buy " told Aravind

" Yes and I am happy in a way Aravind. You always sell used property. First right you always take. Now look at your condition. Interesting aspect is that the girl made you useless in bed and the great Aravind Setia has no clue where she is " Prakash laughed.

" Aravind how did you allow yourself to be made impotent by a girl. And what is the point in being MP Aravind. 8 months gone. You have not been able to get even the dust of Nimisha Purohit " laughed Prathana Devi.

" Aravind I also wanted to ask you. Where is she. With all your influence cant you get a girl. I had kept my side of the bargain perfectly in the mess you people created. But what about your side. What if that girl comes out one fine day" told Mahantji

" Mahantji if she is there, she will live underground. I don't think she will ever dare to come out. News of what we have done would have reached her and wherever she is, she would have understood it. If she fears for her dear life she is not going to surface. If it happens that will be the last day in her life " told Aravind

" He has been telling this for months. Aravind one you are impotent, now the girl is not there and you are bragging. Do something solid man. Who knows she will come up one day like Mahima Das" Sartaj was shouting now.

" What did you call me impotent. Do you want to know how it feels. See I will make you one" . Aravind jumped at Sartaj and Mahantji came in between and pushed them apart

" Now listen idiots. I didn't call you here to fight. Prakash Sarangi's issue will be taken care. And Aravind forget Nimisha for now, we have got an excellent plan this time and Shashank Rawat has agreed to it. Wait for sometime. He is joining us and he will explain the plan.

" Maya sorry I had to keep you waiting. Actually you know traffic was a bit heavy today"

" No issues Malati. Ritu just finished her homework " As she was saying Ritu came out and Malati said thanks to Maya and walked with her daughter.

Maya closed her day care cum tuition centre. In a very short span of 6 months Maya Day care had endeared the working woman in and around that apartment complex. Maya was dark, but has very kind and alluring eyes. Kids easily jelled with her. She had 2 assistants who supported her in taking care of younger kids, but the evening tuitions till class 7 students she took. One of the things about Maya everyone loved was, unless she hand over the child to the last parent she never left, neither she cribbed if parents were late a bit.

People at times felt sorry for her as per her, her husband had abandoned her as she was dark. Her parents had shown him her sister and married her off. Now by selling the jewellery she got in marriage she has started the centre. She said she was thankful to her parents for one thing that they made her study till 10th.

Now Maya walked to her apartment. She wore very lose clothes. She was a woman whom no one will give a second glance. After walking some distance once she was sure no one was following her, she hailed a taxi and reached her 1 bhk apartment which was quite away from her day care centre. She smiled to her neighbours as she walked in. There also people were sympathetic with her because of her abandoned status. Poor woman was what everyone called her. Struggling to make ends meet as neither her parents, nor her husband wants her.

Once inside Maya moved into her bed room and closed all doors and windows. She took her loose fitting clothes and the mask. Her straight jet black hair fell on her shoulders and in a tight fitting jeans and top she looked her reflection in the mirror. She was an unparalleled beauty. With alluring eyes, fair creamy skin, rose bud lips and perfect figure she was any man's dream. There was only one problem. Beneath that innocent beauty lied the ruthless face of Special Officer Research and Analysis wing Ruchika Sahni. She closed her eyes and a smile spread on her lips as she remembered the blow she gave to Aravind Setia with clinical precision. She knew what it would have done to him. Her wireless crackled " Agent 18, Maya come in"

" Maya joining, what news Agent 18, how is Operation Rose "

" Very good going Maya."

" Anyone has any suspicions "

" Nothing as of now Maya"

" Thanks Agent 18, Agent 17.. she called ". Thus she took updates from all her agents. Satisfied she turned to look at the small logo she kept on her table " Satyameva Jayate" . Operation Rose was her only hope. She wanted it to succeed. For her sake, for nation's sake.
